FACT mix 697: Anika

Anika’s Stock Market Crash mix is a polyglot playground from the Berlin-based multi-hyphenate.

Anika, the Berlin-based artist, DJ, poet, and frontwoman of Mexico City avant-pop group Exploded View, returned to the stage solo earlier this year for the first time since 2011 — and now she takes the FACT mix stage for the first time ever.

What unfolds on her mix is as unpredictable as the artist herself. Over the past decade, she’s worked with artists and labels from Jandek and Geoff Barrow (who produced her first EP, a disruption of covers of tracks from the 1960s and ’70s) to Stones Throw and Shackleton, who appears on the mix.

Not content with static expression, Anika has been known to rearrange her own music for live solo shows, combining music with visual arts and poetry and performing with a rotating set of players from across the globe. The spirit of collaboration with her backing band in Mexico had too much magic to ignore and started recording fully improvised sessions together before releasing their eponymous first full-length as Exploded View in August 2016 through Sacred Bones. Last year, the label released the group’s sophomore effort, Obey.

Anika’s vivacity for putting life into work bleeds throughout this mix, which features hefty club collisions from Pearson Sound, Dub Phizix and more.
